The Importance of Theater for Young People: A Behind the Scenes Feature of the Underground Rep

Watch an inspiring feature film on the development and grand opening of the Goizueta Stage for Youth and Families.

The Goizueta Stage is a transformative space designed to showcase year-round programming dedicated to children and youth. To celebrate such an ambitious new space, the Alliance opened the Goizueta with not one… not two… but three youth productions which performed in repertory so parents could bring their kids any day of the week and find something new and exciting to do. The three youth productions highlighted in this feature are INTO THE BURROW: A PETER RABBIT TALE; NAKED MOLE RAT GETS DRESSED; and the world premiere of THE GREAT ANT SLEEP OVER.
